Jon Bon Jovi Is Interested In Buying The Buffalo Bills: Report

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports that Jon Bon Jovi is one of several parties in the running to buy the NFL team. The New York football team is expected to go on the market after current owner Ralph Wilson, 95, passes.

According to the report, Bon Jovi has been spending a considerable amount of time in the Buffalo area meeting the local movers and shakers.

Though the rocker may want to buy the New York team, which is currently valued at $870 million, that doesn't necessarily mean he'll win the sale. As La Canfora notes, Toronto-based Rogers Communications may have the best chance of winning a bid since the group has worked closely with the Wilson family in the past.

Rogers Communications struck a deal with the Bills in 2008 to bring the team to Toronto for several games over a five-year period, per the National Post. In 2010, the telecommunications company expressed interest in a more long-term partnership with the football team.
